Greetings from Portugal where I’m looking at towns to move to, coming from California. The people are lovely here, and super kind if you make an effort to speak Portuguese. The language, especially the pronunciation, is very difficult coming from English. I recommend Pimsleur audio tapes, so you can hear natives speak and learn the accent. Do NOT learn Brazilian Portuguese and expect it’s “close enough,” other than for vocabulary. Anki has great vocab decks as well.

Can confirm. Brazilian portuguese is my native language, I can barely understand Portuguese from Portugal

I am moving in October and I am currently learning the language and can confirm it is very difficult especially if you know any Spanish. I am using a paid app called Practice Portuguese and I am finding it very helpful for a language dummy like myself.
